Israeli spyware may have helped Saudi Arabia track, kill Khashoggi: Snowden
Not that Mr Snowdon knows more about it than you or I at this point...
He speaks with his master’s voice.
[PRESSTV] Former US National Security Agency contractor and whistle-blower Edward Snowden says Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
may have used software made by an Israeli cyber firm to track prominent dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed after visiting the kingdom’s consulate in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...Qatar's colony in Asia Minor....
’s largest city of Istanbul last month.

Addressing a conference in Tel Aviv via a video call from Russia, Snowden said Pegasus spyware, developed by Israeli cyberarms firm NSO Group, was used to track opponents.

"The Saudis, of course, knew that Khashoggi was going to go to the consulate, as he got an appointment. But how did they know his intention and plans?" he said.

Snowden went on to say that the smartphone of one of Khashoggi's friends, who was living in exile in Canada, had been infected with Pegasus spyware.

#2 And finally we get around to blaming it on the Juice.

from la Wiki: Pegasus
Pegasus is the name of a spyware (developed in Israel) that can be installed on devices running certain versions of iOS, Apple's mobile operating system. Upon clicking on a malicious link, Pegasus secretly enables a jailbreak on the device and can read text messages, track calls, collect passwords, trace the phone location, as well as gather information from apps including (but not limited to) iMessage, Gmail, Viber, Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Skype.

#3 So without the Israeli spyware the Saudis wouldn't have known that Khashoggi was in the Saudi Consulate?

Needs a stupidity glyph...
